Oxfam rocked by corruption, sex abuse allegations

Oxfam fails to mention the 20 years Elon Musk spent working over 80 hours a week, sleeping under the desk at the office, sleeping on the floor at the YMCA, putting all his money into SpaceX and Tesla, nearly going bankrupt several times, driven to desperation over and over again etc etc.
You don't just get up one year and make over a hundred billion dollars.

And 500+ people became billionaires during and from this China Wuhan COVID pandemic........must be nice.

What would make this article useful is if it indicated HOW they made so much.

E.g., if someone capitalized on the insanity of everyone, including governments, freaking out over a non-apocolyptic pandemic, by selling the software that allowed folks to work at home, that’d just be good business.

So, instead of preying on weak character by stoking envy, the article could inspire others by having them recognize that when you provide something useful, you are rewarded.

Bezos - because everyone was at home ordering from the web
Zuckerberg - because when they weren’t ordering stuff, they were on fb
Gates - no good reason

[P.O.E.]

Couldn’t have worked out better if they planned it.

Oh, wait....

Glad to see this thread got so little response.

honestly my net worth has skyrocketed during the pandemic also

They did this also for all of 2020 and 2021 using the starting point of the stock market crash of March 2020. If they wanted to truly honest they would use January of 2020. But using the crash includes the “recouping” as “gain”...

The mutual funds I own have done insanely well in 2020 and 2021
